Looking for an App to rotate QWERTY into landscape in messaging

Duster78 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-13-2008, 11:33 AM

has anyone come across an app that will use the G sensor to rotate the screen into landscape for text messaging and email. I tried Gyrator 2 but it was a bit buggy and seemed to drain the battery quicker. i installed it while on charger, took it off the charger played with it for 15 min and my battery was down to 84%. All i want is the ability to type in landscape, nothing else.

I too really want this, it would make texting so much easier, but I believe as of right now, there is no stable way to do this using the g sensor. You could always assign screen rotation to a button hold using a registry edit that is on this forum.

unzip, then place a shortcut of this exe into your windows startmenu programs folder then you can map this to a longpress of the send key and when your in whatever program you want to rotate just hold down the talk button.

**EDIT** fixed the link

dont place the exe, put a shortcut to it. copy the file then use pase as shortcut rather than normal paste.

I tried mapping the send key to a shortcut of the RBc9-LandTray-L. But when I try it out in text messaging, nothing happens. The top right of the screen shows that the program started but my keyboard doesn't change to landscape? Can anyone help please?
